New and Noteworthy

Ability to skip the approval sandbox

This enhancement seeks to simplify the admin workflow process for smaller teams that do not need the added complexity of a shared approval sandbox. Instead, this allows admin users to go directly from a USER sandbox to production on the promotion.

To allow users globally to skip promotions: Set sandbox.promotion.global.disabled=true

This will replace the "promote" button with a "deploy" one if the user also has PERMISSION_ALL_APPROVER_SANDBOX

To allow only certain users to skip promotions: Associate the Permission Skip Promotion Sandbox (a.k.a., ROLE_SKIP_PROMOTION) to some User or Role who also has PERMISSION_ALL_APPROVER_SANDBOX

The "promote" button will still be accessible for approvers as long as sandbox.promotion.global.disabled=false

The "promote" button will still be available in the sandbox ribbon by clicking the dropdown arrow next to "deploy"
